Is the world going to end right in the middle of the
upcoming holiday season? While that wouldn't be good for retail sales,
many people feel that Dec. 21, 2012 is a date that will linger in our
minds forever -- assuming we all survive the calamities that are
supposedly headed our way.
The ancient Mayan civilization calendar is believed to end this year
on Dec. 21. And somehow, through word-of-mouth, movies, books, the
Internet, etc., a cult-like belief system has sprung up in our culture
suggesting any number of awful things will take place on that date.
Some of these include:

An unknown planet on a collision path with Earth.

A close encounter between Earth and a black hole in deep space.

More natural disasters around our planet.

A shifting of Earth's magnetic poles.

But where did all of these rumors actually start?
Many believe it goes back thousands of years to the ancient Sumerian
culture who reportedly discovered a twelfth planet they called Nibiru --
aka Planet X -- which was predicted to have a close encounter with Earth in 2003.
When that didn't happen, a new Doomsday was moved to December 2012.
On the other hand, there are some who believe the December date
heralds not doom and gloom, but a more positive transformative
experience for Earth and its inhabitants.
It all sounds rather sketchy, especially to a scientist.
"It's all a hoax, and it's based on absolutely no factual
information. None of the things that are supposed to happen are real,
and so it's kind of hard to even have a scientific discussion about what
they're worried about because there's no science there," said David Morrison, a leading space scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center for Study of Life in the Universe at the SETI Institute in California. Watch this Doomsday video with David Morrison

While SETI scientists are involved with the ongoing search for
extraterrestrial intelligence, they also want to quiet any fears the
public has about the alleged Doomsday.
To that end, Morrison created a special Doomsday 2012 Fact Sheet in September that's posted on both SETI and NASA websites.
According to this fact sheet, "opinion polls suggest that one in 10
Americans worry about whether they will survive past December 21 of this
year."
"Think about that. It means when you walk down the street and look
around, there are 25 million people who presumably have no stake in
anything because their world's going to end in [December]. That is
scary," Morrison told The Huffington Post.
When Morrison was researching information for his Doomsday fact
sheet, he didn't find anything that confirmed that the Mayans left us
any dire predictions.
"The Maya scholars I've talked to say flat out they did not make any
such predictions. The question then is does their calendar end? Well,
that's not true, either, because there are written references to dates
that are hundreds of years in the future, which indicates the calendar
must keep going," he said.
"So, this is not a Maya thing -- they don't think anything bad's
going to happen, and it's only meaningful if you believe the Maya could
predict the future."
Morrison assured HuffPost that he's not building a bunker in his backyard to protect himself and his loved ones.
"I am not. And that's a whole other thing that's part of this
mythology about how the government has been frantically building bunkers
to house millions of people underground -- the elite, of course, not
the rest of us. And that's just crazy."

There is, however, one part of this whole Doomsday scenario that the NASA/SETI scientist is very concerned about.
"I think it is wrong to put out a website or make a YouTube video in
order to frighten children," he said. "That is something we should be
truly offended by. And my main concern is that children have said they are contemplating suicide.
A science teacher in Stockton, Calif., said the parents of two of her
students told her they were planning to kill the children and themselves
in a family suicide before the 21st of December.

"For children who are asking, 'Will Christmas come this year, Daddy?' I think that's evil," Morrison said.
That's also a concern of Jonathan Alpert, a New York City-based psychotherapist and author of "Be Fearless: Change Your Life in 28 Days."
"I have adults who see me and have beliefs that the world is ending,
and they have kids, so it permeates into the kids' thinking," Alpert
told HuffPost. "They're instilling fear in their young ones. Kids learn
from adults, so if you're a kid and you witness your parents getting
frenetic and anxious around the end of the world, and they're hoarding
water and this and that, then naturally you'll develop a similar
response."
Alpert says that, even though scientists reject the Doomsday scenario, it still affects people.
"In a way, it's like a folklore," Alpert explained. "People want to
feel like they're part of something. They want to believe in things,
even if those things are somewhat outrageous. There's a feeling of
belonging-ness."
To help parents and children cope with any Doomsday issues, Alpert offers some advice.
"I would say stick with the facts. Kids are impressionable and easily
influenced and ideas can be perpetuated in an unhealthy way, so parents
should certainly take an active role in knowing what their kids are
being exposed to and subsequently re-educating their kids."

ABOUT CERO INTERNATIONAL

CERO International is an exciting new branch of CERO, Close
Encounters Resource Organization, which was founded in 1991 by Certified
Hypnotherapist, Yvonne Smith. The original CERO has for over 20 years
conducted monthly support group meetings as a resource and safe-haven for
experiencers of alien abductions or close encounters .

CERO International branches out from the “local” Southern
California nature of its support group, and by expanding nationally and
internationally, will provide information, support and cutting-edge world
wide UFO presentations and news.

By hosting presentations by experiencers and researchers of
international reputation, CERO International will step outside of and
supplement its closed door support group meetings and educate the general public
about the reality of the UFO phenomenon and the trauma to which experiencers may
be subjected.

ABOUT YVONNE
SMITH:Smith began researching the UFO phenomenon in the late 1980s.
After 2 years of studies and 1000 hours of internship a California Hypnosis
Motivation Institute, the only accredited hypnosis college in the United States,
she received her hypnotherapy certification in 1990. Specializing in cases of
post traumatic stress disorder, she uses her hypnotherapy skills to assist such
victims to work through their anxiety, with many of her subjects referred to her
by physicians and psychiatrists who believe Smith’s expertise can benefit their
patients. In fact, many such patients are themselves doctors, university
professors, military, engineers, lawyers, domestic and foreign pilots other
professionals and many non-professionals, sometimes flying from other countries
to meet with Smith in Los Angeles.

In UFO circles, whenever there is a reported “sighting” UFO
investigators emphasize and evaluate whether the experiencer’s description
supports, or not, the reality of a UFO contact. However, the emphasis of
recognized regressive hypnotherapy expert Yvonne Smith concerns the too
frequently ignored emotional trauma on the experiencer of their encounter.

Because Smith (who is internationally known in UFO circles as
simply "hypnotherapist Yvonne") observed that many of the PTSD cases being
referred to her involved subjects describing similar patterns of UFO abduction
encounters, she founded Close Encounters Resource Organization [CERO] as a
monthly-meeting support group for such individuals in 1992. She was also on the
board of the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support (OPUS) which
furthers support for such subjects.

In addition to being a hypnotherapist “in demand”,
since 1991 Yvonne has traveled extensively, presenting lectures in the United
States at M.I.T. and several other universities, at many American “UFO”
conferences. The Roswell International UFO Museum annually invites Yvonne to
present multiple lectures, be a panel member, and be moderator of their
investigator panel. She has also lectured and conducted many standing-room-only
and record breaking experiencer sessions at the International UFO Congress in
Nevada, U.S.A., and has also lectured for several years at international
conferences from South America to Europe.As the foremost female
hypnotherapist in this field, in the 1990s Yvonne traveled on a lecture tour
with hypnotherapy colleagues the late Dr. John Mack of Harvard and pioneer Budd
Hopkins, and also David Jacobs, PhD. of Temple University.

Yvonne has made hundreds of television and radio appearances.
ABC News selected Yvonne to respond in a televised news special to Stephen
Hawking’s negative depiction of aliens. Comfortable in front of cameras, her
American television appearances have included programs such as The History,
Discovery, and Biography channels, The Montel Williams Show, Intruders, MSNBC,
Encounters, Sightings, Joan Rivers, Rosanne Barr and The Leeza Show. Foreign
t.v. projects have included Telemundo T.V., and Jaime Maussan Productions,
Germany T.V., Australian, Canadian, and Italian television for broadcast to
multiple countries. Having her living room turned into a television “studio” for
many hours has been a common occurrence, and she is frequently a consultant to
producers, directors and actors for movies and television programs in the
works.Yvonne’s regressive hypnotherapy was featured in the Biography
channel’s film “Alien Intent” which was co-produced and narrated by prize
winning author Whitley Strieber and also featured well known surgeon Dr.Roger
Leir.

Yvonne has also been interviewed as a frequent radio program
guest by such well known radio hosts as Coast to Coast with George Noory, Art
Bell, Paul Harvey, Jerry Pippin, Dr. David Viscott, Joe Montaldo, , the Sweeps
Fox “Radio Ireland” show, England’s “The Unexplained” and many other hosts who
have broadcast Yvonne’s interviews to over to over 54 countries. Interviews of
Yvonne have also been published in both United States and foreign publications,
including the Nexus international publication.

With Travis Walton, Smith was a guest of a historic Coast to
Coast 2012 broadcast which also included as guests, for their first their time
in 35 years “on air” , two of Walton’s fellow workers who witnessed his
abduction, only to then face murder charges. Coast2Coast expanded its
traditional 3 hour format to 4 hours for this special presentation.

In addition to her many radio and TV interviews and
participation, Yvonne with her CERO group, was asked by Disney’s Michael Eisner
to participate in a Disney project involving release of their movie, “Alien
Encounters” (1995).

Yvonne is the author of “CHOSEN: Recollections of UFO
Abductions Through Hypnotherapy” which exposes, with dramatic regressive
hypnotherapy transcripts, the hidden memory trauma reality suffered by
abductees.
Budd Hopkins and Yvonne are the subjects of the DVD, “Alien
Hybrids & Clinical Hypnotherapy.” which is volume 1 from the Secrets of the
Underground series.

Further, as a Co-Host with Maj. Robert Dean, NATO ret., Yvonne
is the abduction hypnotherapist lecturer on Dreamland’s UFO Anthology Vol-1
DVD.

In CHOSEN Yvonne Smith, a certified hypnotherapist
specializing in the use of hypnotherapy to assist those who suffer post
traumatic stress as a result of "close encounters" reveals the trauma of such
individuals experiences. Such abductees' experiences are more realistically
described in CHOSEN than in previous publications due to many dramatic, unedited
transcripts of subjects describing their trauma during their
hypnotherapy.

In UFO circles, whenever there is a reported
"sighting" UFO investigators emphasize and evaluate whether the experiencer's
description supports, or not, the reality of a UFO contact. However, the
emphasis of recognized regressive hypnotherapy expert Yvonne Smith concerns the
too frequently ignored trauma on the experiencer of their encounter.

Different focuses: Typical UFO books about UFO
sightings limit their attention to whether an event supports a UFO encounter.
However, CHOSEN focuses on the emotional trauma caused to the experiencer .too
frequently ignored by investigators.

CHOSEN...focuses uniquely on the
effect the encounter has on the experiencer.
